HealthFootprint - Carbon footprint of the Austrian health sector
Abstract
Despite the economic importance of health care systems and evidence of their significant environmental impacts, the health sector has rarely been addressed in climate change mitigation studies. Responding to this research gap the project calculates for the first time the carbon footprint of the Austrian health sector. Overall and detailed results are discussed with stakeholders to identify mitigation options in preparation for a carbon reduction strategy of the Austrian health sector in the future.
